Weird logics in video games

[Peppermint Patty]

Holes that make you fall from the ceilling and corridors that make you appear in the other side.

Literally everything in Mortal Kombat

For some reason Mega man can get hit by missiles bombs and get impaled yet somehow SOMEHOW spikes can kill him in one hit

- - - Updated - - -

you would think Dr light would make X without this flaw but I guess Megaman and X are made out of balloons

- - - Updated - - -

which would explain why they can jump high in water

- - - Updated - - -

I mean there is also the fact of what doesn't needle man kill mega man in one hit if he is weak to spikes why does stabbing him not count and why hard man is so hard

When you beat an AI in story mode in a fighting game through time-out it's like "Oh ok I see you timed me out after 1 minute and 30 seconds I guess you win... see you later I'm gonna die now"

I’ll add another, COD is not the only series/game that’s guilty of this:
Cutscenes- cinematic or not - show dynamic ways to defeat the enemy, but the reality is when the gameplay starts.

[Ｍｉｋｅｗａｖｅ 哀ッ中]

In the final fight or streets of rage, you take food from the trash, you eat it in a second, without fear of having an infection or something like that.
Or you take something random from the floor to score points.

In the midnight club racing games, you can drive your car on 2 wheels

Walking into a large, slow moving object can result in instant death - mostly the case if set to the hardest difficulty.

Some games have reasons for them such as titanfall or portal

[Um cool]

It's a video game. Nothing ever makes sense in these and talking about them like they do have some ounce of logic is ridiculous and reminds me of surviving a supernova.

Kyo from King of Fighters can defeat every boss as if it's nothing.

Though he lost to Goenitz once because he was fighting alone.

Maybe that's because he's a protagonist? From what i heard, SNK almost never lets their protagonists lose.

No offense to them, even though i like KOF, a protagonist winning every battle is poor/bad writing in my opinion and maybe even considered plot armor. If they lose at least once or twice, it makes me happy because i know they are not undefeatable people who can defeat everyone without trying.

Sorry if i am off-topic by the way.

No matter how big the wounds are... A little junk food can restore all your vitality.

i think u could also do that in one of the Simpsons games

[Gomamon]

Killing and other punishable crimes are absolutely "okay" and "fine" if you're a protagonist, because no one will probably ever know or care anyway and you will always get away with it because you're a protagonist.

NOTE: I am talking about Shiki Tohno, main character of Tsukihime. He kills Arcueid in Arcueid and Ciel route, but since Arcueid is immortal and can regenerate, no one really cares. Shiki kills Nrvnqsr and Roa, but it's okay, because they are vampires and villains so, he had every reason... Shiki kills Satsuki, (in Akiha, Hisui and Kohaku route only) but that's okay, because she is universally hated anyway for no reason sadly. Shiki kills Wallachia (villain of Melty Blood) but that's okay because he was being used by his friend, Sion. I always found it frustrating and weird how he can get away with murder and r*pe, i mean, i like him, but he is a flawed character i have to admit, and kind of controversial.

Though hey, it's a fictional game so, maybe i shouldn't take it WAY too seriously? It still doesn't make much sense though, and maybe i will have to deal with that.

They really dragged that out for so long, just to show how over-the-top his fatal looking attack is. Only to result in approximately 95% damage done.

All of what happened must have been an illusion, after the battle, everything's back to normal as if the supernova never happened.
I'm sure there are other games that are guilty of this, not just Final Fantasy.

Yeah, but I assumed it's the same power of a supernova since he's creating a dimension or something during the fight?

How to get stronger!
1. Kill your father.
2. ???
3. Profit!
(sorry if this is offensive)

I am talking about Igniz from The King of Fighters 2001. Since that game has story and is official, before you fight him, Igniz kills his father in the cutscene and then he begins fighting you. I thought that was kind of interesting in my opinion.

Mario has unimaginable strength at the time of being able to carry the giant and heavy Bowser from the tail... But at the same time he has proven to be much weaker than any other human being when he was defeated by just touching a turtle.

Charizard spits fire hot enough to melt boulders, but his attacks are still weak against the tiniest of rock types.
